A Walk Around Walden Pond

Walden Pond covers 62 acres, but it's really much larger than that. Few bodies of water have celebrity status to rival that of this serene pool in Concord, Massachusetts, which makes a perfect fall day trip. 19th-century writer and Concord native Henry David Thoreau is, of course, responsible for turning the pretty pond into an icon.
